Week Two

So far this week I have spent some time finishing the test run of the multi cam rig with two cameras and the third feed coming from the computer and going into the switcher back into the computer which immediately creates feedback. But, I did not have a third camera with hdmi out available at the moment. The switching between cameras went really well, and I was able to access the switcher from using the initcam funtion and just calling the (5") option for the camera, where as my webcam is option 1. As soon as you run the line of code it switches to that camera option which is really nice to not have to rely on a webcam for our front of house camera.

s0.initCam(1) src(s0).out()

Multi Camera Test using a hdmi switcher and hydra.

Next, I will spend time finishing the install of Three.Js, which I think might need to happen in vscode and I also will see if the generic shader codes I have located on the web can work with the Kode software. I will also see if I can possibly get Veda to work with vscode. After this I will go back and make another test performance with hydra using the front of house camera rig and also develop more shader codes for marching.js

*****Update*******

After listening to Haru Ji speak in Charlie’s class, I am thinking that maybe one of the cameras that is hooked up to the switcher should actually be looking at the audience which would all for the viewer to possible feel more immersed in the work as they are no longer just looking at the performer and visuals or listening to sound, but they are also combined with this imagery and are influencing the experience.
